The only reason we would not go back is that there was no shower. For senior citizens getting in and out of a bath is difficult and washing ones hair a nightmare. Everything else about the cottage was superb.

The property

This spacious, terraced cottage is located in the small hamlet of Waberthwaite, on the beautiful west coast of Cumbria, just five miles from Ravenglass and nine miles from Gosforth in the Lake District National Park.

This lovely cottage has spacious accommodation and is ideal for families and friends to use as a base for exploring this lovely part of the country.

There is a welcoming open plan living area on the ground floor with a fitted kitchen, and a dining area and sitting area and there are two comfortable bedrooms on the first floor.

From your cottage you can explore the hamlet of Waberthwaite which is home to other cottages and farm dwellings together with a traditional village pub.

You can wander to the local beaches and enjoy the coastal walks through the fabulous conservation areas nearby.

Being located on the western coast of Cumbria this charming cottage makes an excellent base for visiting the quieter villages of Ravenglass and Gosforth.

Ravenglass is the only estuary village included within the National Park.

The Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway, “Old Ratty”, departs from here taking visitors up to the beautiful Eskdale Valley through what is truly breathtaking countryside.

A must for everyone is a trip to Wasdale Head and Wastwater, one of the most spectacular locations in the whole of the county and perhaps the most awe-inspiring of all the lakes.

Surrounded by mountains, Red Pike, Kirk Fell, Great Gable and Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain, the area is just waiting for you to visit.

After a busy day exploring, your cosy cottage will be waiting for you, and no doubt a refreshing drink and delicious meal at the local pub, which is next door to the cottage, is a superb way to round off your day.
